For those closer animal interactions, kids can visit the Family Farm with goats, mini horses, llamas, and domestic animals like chickens and pigs for the kids to see up close - and even feed the goats and "milk" a fiberglass cow!
Great animal fun at this popular Indiana zoo, where the animals of the world come to YOU!
